Since become sick, I lost my store in Key West and my husband and I had to move to Pa. Waiting for section 8 and since I lost my income I now have Medicaid which is the only way I could see all the Drs I've had to see. I've been in Pa a year and it has not been fun.

I have 2 grown kids and 7 grandkids and have been able to connect with a sister I've been out of touch with for many many years. So we are trying to find some positive in all of this.
